My Thoughts.
There should be no penalty for Covert Ops Recloaking. This should be removed. Instead lower the Scan rezolution a bit more on the SB and raise it's Signature radius by a bit as well.
The thought being that you can uncloak, lock and launch and then recloak. But the reduced scan rez will take you longer to lock and the higher sig radius will mean others can lock you quicker
This being that if someone manages to lock you up it prevents you from cloaking there by catch you with your pants down. I don't beleive this to be the "Winsauce" button because it can be overcome with Tactics.
And those tactics being that it pays to have other light support ships to prevent stealth bombers making attack runs. Where as multiple battleships will be suceptable to stealth bombers because they can not lock the target before it manages to recloak.
As it should be.
Apart from that i like all the changes, but unless the 30 sec recloak is removed all the changes will be for naught.

He has a point.
I like these changes but your better off just splitting it off into 2 different ships.
A. Percision Stealth Bomber
B. Suppression Stealth Bomber
Or somthing of the like, you are kind of cheeseing over all those players who specificaly trained for Cruise missles
I still feel jaded over having trained Tech 2 heavy assault missles and then had my javlin missle range cut from 52km to 19km

After looking closely and experementing with the changes in stealth bombers
I've got to say that I love the changes, mostly the use of torpedo's, range and alpha firepower.
However there are several things that just add to my demise repeatedly
Drones: more specificaly if a target has drones out and they are not attacking anyone, my engaging that target will cause the drones to engage me. Not a bit deal. What is a big deal is that the drones lock on to your stealth bomber preventing you from going back into cloak.
That sucks more then anything else as no actual ships are locked on to me only the drones which prevents cloak from working.
I'd like for drones not to interphere with a stealth bombers ability to recloak.
The 30 seccond reactivation delay should be lessened by training in cloaking. Allowing you to cut it down by 2.5 secconds or better 5 secconds per level of cloak, this will help greatly and allows more favorable returns. 30 secconds is way to long and i pretty much feel like i am hang'n in the breeze. And those few times that cruisers can get a lock on me I straight up die.
Apart from that i do like the changes. You've got the right amount of hammer, but the glass is really ice and tends to melt rather easily.

what the heck?
Noboby had a problem with the stealth bomber's damage out put, everyone was happy with it.
It wasn't the stealth bombers damage ability that people had a problem with it was the fact that you had to A. wait 30 secconds after decloak and B. Sig raidus.
Dropping the damage output by 5% truely does being to shove this frigate over into the realm of worthless! The only hope you had as getting off enough burst damage.
Give us back out 20% dmg per level!
